[BioC] how to use limma on this format

[Weiwei Shi]

Hi, there:

I have an agilent data format with colnames which look like the
followings. I am wondering how to proceed with this data by using
limma to do the QC. I mean, I probably can create some corresponding
objects of limma manually (like RGList from gMedianSignal...) but it
is painful. Anyone knows about this source or any suggestions to move
from there.

Another question, can I find "locuslink id" for ProbeName for agilent?

thanks,
